    3y / 7

    Where y = the total number of athletes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the total number of athletes = y

    Let the number of all baseball athletes = b

    Let the number of all basketball athletes = k

    Let the number of all football athletes = f

    The ratio b: k : f is given by:

    15 : 12 : 8

    Total proportion = 15 + 12 + 8

    = 35

    The ratio of all baseball player = 15 / 35

    = 3/7

    Number of baseball player = 3/7 of y

    = 3y/7

    The means the three - seventh (close to half) of the total athletes play baseball ball.
